It was really colorful limited edition and was based on macaroons I think? Please help!!
If you lay pallets down on the ground you will kill the grass. If you kill the grass it'll be better if you just dug it up to begin with. Are you planning on standing them up? Or creating easels? Don't use sheets. The cotton will rot and you will have a BIG mess. You might start shopping around at the Restore and other places like that.
Container gardening is huge. Just start searching that and you may find that it would work better than pallets
just screw 2 x 4's around the sides to prevent the soil from spilling out...an 8' piece will cost you less than $2.00. ...and Home Depot and Lowes will cut to size for you too. ...as far as the bottom, lay a bunch of layers of old newspaper on the ground. Maybe some nice neighbors would be willing to donate some. ...Now, let's talk about soil...this is where it can get quite expensive. ...I would consider starting a compost pile somewhere in the corner of your garden...just pile grass clippings (if you have a gardener ask him to throw them there instead of the green waste bin). also rake up leaves, let them dry, then crumble them up...if you have kids let them jump in the pile to crush them, since leaves take a long time to decompose, it's best to always add crumbled pieces to the compost. Also veggie and fruit scraps, tea bags, old coffee grounds (starbucks is happy to give them away for free), these can all go into your compost... ...mix it up once a week or once every two weeks and water it every now and then to get it moving quicklier. ...You'd be amazed as to how much these worms can eat... In our compost pile, i can dig my hands into the bottom of the pile and hundreds of worms are squirming around...it's wonderful! ...and it's free highly nutritious soil!
sounds like an ambitious plan, but it would be easier to just use pots and tubs
